What influenced Siddartha to move. Is he too influenced by snakes? Maybe
Yess!
We are always followed by Evil in the form of snakes. Adam and Eve were kicked out of Eden because of listening to the Serpent. We unconsciously followed the serpent. I went for a walk watching my legs imprint on the sand and when I connected the left imprint to the right imprint and left… It is more a serpent movement. I love cycling, if I see the mark of the cycle on the sand is moreover a slight movement of a snake from slight bend left to right to left. Snake movement is part of our being. I learned our body was consciously sensored to know the movement of snakes and also practice the same. By observing Buddha who moved on a chariot on that day. When he was forced to see the old man, sick man, a corpse and a holy man symbolically it refers to chariot movement because if you watch chariot marks on the mud road it is more like a movement of a snake. Is a snake indispensable in our movement?.
Once Siddhartha transformed into Buddha. The transformation made him feel the bliss under the bodhi tree. The bliss is neither happiness nor unhappiness. The bliss is the centre. Your mind erases all the conditioning and every situation is new for you and no memory of the past to connect to now. The word perception disappears once the mind disappears. The Buddha is more like a child like experiencing the heightness of bliss and also moves to a higher stage. He is neither left or right but balanced to know the truth. He left his sitting posture to understand the meaning of balance, when a statue was made to worship. An amazing thing was encountered,the statue expressed some sadness or something missing in his face. We all know Buddha attained enlightenment. The enlightenment is nothing but bliss and it is nothing but happiness. When the disciple asked, Buddha replied, “the happiness is shallow but unhappiness has a deep root. Hence to show the height of happiness, I have to express with a pinch of sadness.”
